We can go to Mexico, the Sky’s always blue Drive to Acapulco, and sleep in my Subur Find a little chapel and get married too We don’t even need a witness, and I can borrow something blue Right now, we are free, I got you by my side and you got me Better together than apart, so you call the shot on this one And I’ll keep an open heart You told me stories of India, bus ride through the hills, spring adventures with Grandpa Sounds like a dream, I’d go back with you, we could live off the land, and learn how to grow our own food Right now, we are free, I got you by my side and you got me Better together than apart, so you call the shot on this one And I’ll keep an open heart So what do you say, are we leaving soon, don’t be afraid, to try something new The page turns, a new chapter to learn, a little more with you Right now, we are free, I got you by my side and you got me Better together than apart, so you call the shot on this one And I’ll keep an open heart

Mystery Man 04:00
Brooklyn’s got a funny way of showing you things you don’t know Brooklyn’s got a funny way of showing you things you don’t know Complicated characters and over rated amateurs running this show I walked right into that bar not know I was going to know you, and you were looking like a mystery man on that sunday afternoon Nothing here’s an accident and I don’t believe in coincidence, and then I saw you I’m losing what’s left of my mind, or did I just wake up inside Give it my all, cuz what the hell else am I supposed to do Give it my all, and pray to god my heart is telling me the truth Didn't know I was looking for you all my life I pray to God I'm going to get it right this time I can't promise you everything but I know something is happening tonight Take my hand and I'll take yours, let's run wild I'm not going to let you go You walked down that road, like a mystery man, with me The air was thick and the night was hot on that Brooklyn Street Stay with me oh my beautiful lover, I’m falling fast, like the leaves after the summer Give it your all, cuz what the hell else are you supposed to do Give it my yourl, and pray to god your heart is telling you the truth Give it my our, cuz what the hell else are we supposed to do Give it my are alll, and pray to god my heart is telling us the truth

Where, where’s our love gone Is it buried deep beneath the sand I had waited so long for a love like ours To fall into my hands We had no boundaries Fighting for all things that we believed I miss the way we’d laugh And the way our hearts used to sing Do you feel worthy hanging on your darkest hour Do you still see me Our love was the wildest of flowers Is it gone for good Sit, Sitting in your sadness Reaching for your hand but you wont move Please help me understand this did fear find a way to swallow up your truth I’d do most anything to help find my way back to you But asking me to be, something I’m not, I’m not willing to do Do you feel worthy hanging on your darkest hour Do you still see me Our love was the wildest of flowers Is it gone for good Is it gone for good I won’t lie here crying myself to sleep, I’ve worked too damn hard for ground beneath my feet I need someone who wants to grow with me, and if that’s not you, time to set me free. I miss my friend, my lover my partners, I’m beggin you now try to work a little harder, cause you're losing me with all this negativity, It’s not what your doing, it’s how you think I got no limitations and we do can anything, you got to give up your demons, come fly away with me, Clouds of confusion and mystery well they're not bad necessarily. It’s seeing the good and in all the things. Loves no illusion, come back to me come back to me come back to me come back to me Do you feel worthy hanging on your darkest hour Do you still see me Our love was the wildest of flowers Is it gone for good Is it gone for good Is it gone for good Is it gone for good Is it gone for good

I love you, it’s not easy to explain this I can’t have you the way my heart entertains it Not going to fight with my humanness I surrender now, I see it’s just the way it is. I’m dominated by a life full of lust Constantly confused by feeling we can’t trust Would you meet me in the middle would you meet me in a different kind of love I came with a heart too big I confess With no instructions on how to use it best Temporary toyed with my happiness I got something I need to get off my chest I’m dominated by a life full of lust Constantly confused by feeling we can’t trust Would you meet me in the middle would you meet me in a different kind of love There’s not a book to read on how to possibly understand all the feelings deep inside of me Am I supposed to know, what to hold, or to let go, can you blame me for losing a bit of self control Would you love me the way you do would you look at me the same If I told you the life were living, is a game I can’t play Hearts will always want all the things they can’t have But I can love you differently, because here it’s not so bad I’m dominated by a life full of lust Constantly confused by feeling we can’t trust Would you meet me in the middle would you meet me in a different kind of love

Love is a hurricane, starts out like summer rain You can’t see it coming by looking at the sky Light Flashes through the clouds, find shelter ride it out Hold on till it pass by Hey now, we will find, the things we do to keep our love alive Hey now, moving on, as long as we’re together we’ll be home Love is a constellation, guides us through the changes Shining though you may not see it’ s starts A certain slant of light, visits in the night Keeps us moving on a centerline Hey now, we will find, the things we do to keep our love alive Hey now, moving on, as long as we’re together we’ll be home We’ll be home, oooooo as long as we're together we'll be home We’ll be home oooooo ooooooo oooooo oooooo Hey now, we will find, the things we do to keep our love alive Hey now, moving on, as long as we’re together we’ll be home Hey now, we will find, the things we do to keep our love alive Hey now, moving on, as long as we’re together we’ll be home We’ll be home, oooooo as long as we're together we'll be home We’ll be home oooooo ooooooo oooooo oooooo

wish I had the chance to know you better. wish I could have had one more day. I try to put my words into a letter. but they won't flow when I don't see your face. Headed home Where it’s a little bit colder, but I can still feel you. complicated heart, might be a little confused. It’s always the wrong place, never the right time. So I’ll keep doing me and you keep doing you, You were never going to be mine. I walk through the park, the leaves are changing It could have been a month since yesterday Think that I’ve been missing something lately I need to know, if you might feel the same Should I let this go? Or get a little bit bolder, should I be running to you? This complicated heart could be a little confused It’s always the wrong place, never the right time. If I keep doing me and you keep doing you, You are never going to be mine. How can one day doing nothing with a perfect someone feel so meaningful? Not sure how you changed me, I was incomplete, but you might be, the answer I need... To get a little bit closer, there’s a reason I found you Looking over my shoulder, I know there’s something I have do It’s always the wrong place, never the right time. So I’ll keep doing me and you keep doing you, Were you ever going to be mine? Ah yeah Could you ever wanna be mine? Miii-iii-iine

Sitting in the blue of the TV screen Sitting alone, with you beside me Looking for windows to say what I see Did I disappear or did you lose sight of me Are we satisfied, Pictures framed but something's not right Do we ever really know who we're going home to Are we hypnotized by the fire in our eyes, It’s going to fade someday how do we keep us Alive Autumn days with the sun on side Kalidoscope of gold, no sense of passing time Thought we would would last like names carved on trees Was love not enough, or did we get lost in a dream Are we satisfied, Pictures framed but something's not right Do we ever really know who we're going home to Are we hypnotized by the fire in our eyes, It’s going to fade someday how do we Keep us Alive I’m not ready baby to give you up I’m my ready darlin to let you slip away I’m just thinking maybe we got stuck Too comfortable with every passing day I can feel you running, away from something and I’m wanting to stay Are we satisfied, Pictures framed but something's not right Do we ever really know who we're going home to Are we hypnotized by the fire in our eyes, It’s going to fade someday how do we Keep us Alive

Empty Handed 03:46
Think I should see a doctor or maybe just visit my mother, oh god, I need some help Sara tells me I’m just a lover and Taryn tells me don’t be a liar, liars never help themselves I’m not one to count my bruises, I’m not the kind of girl to make lame excuses, It’s just the cards I was dealt And I’m walking blinded by the morning, empty handed on a road I can’t find and I’m sick and tired of always losing, looking for answers in a cheap bottle of wine it’s not my time I’v had pain and love and tears, plenty of rage and too much fear and I fucked a lot of shit up over the years walking on a fine line now I got everything to lose and still want out there’s an anchor in my chest keeping me here And I’m walking blinded by the morning, empty handed on a road I can’t find and I’m sick and tired of always losing, looking for answers in a cheap bottle of wine it’s not my time think it’s time to go, leave the place I call my home, and it’s not, it’s not your fault, thinks it’s time to say goodbye, to the voice inside me that sucks me dry, and it’s not, it’s not your fault And I’m walking blinded by the morning, empty handed on a road I can’t find and I’m sick and tired of always losing, looking for answers in a cheap bottle of wine it’s not my time

about

This is a record about strength, perseverance, acknowledging the darkness in human nature and moving into light, acceptance, exploration, hard truths, making mistakes and feeling every bit of the mess, living in the biggest possible way, and most of all LOVE. Love for myself and for the people who have inspired me. This record is about thinking outside of the box we live in, finding our freedom, and being fearless, even in the hardest of times. I am humbled and honored to share these experiences with my community and the world.
